How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Kojic Acid 10% Topical Gel is a specialized semisolid formulation designed for targeted treatment of various skin conditions such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, and age spots. The active ingredient, kojic acid, is a naturally occurring compound derived from fungi, renowned for its melanin-inhibiting properties. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color, and kojic acid works by blocking the enzyme tyrosinase, which is crucial for melanin production. By inhibiting this enzyme, kojic acid effectively reduces the appearance of dark spots and discoloration on the skin.

This topical gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application directly onto the affected skin areas. It is typically applied once or twice daily, depending on the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to avoid applying this medication on broken or irritated skin, as it may cause further irritation. Additionally, the use of sunscreen is highly recommended during the treatment period, as kojic acid can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.

While Kojic Acid 10% Topical Gel is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or redness as side effects. If these or any other adverse reactions occur, it is important to discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider immediately. Always remember to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider when using this medication for optimal results.

Kojic Acid 10% Topical Gel is an effective solution for treating melasma, hyperpigmentation, and age spots, offering a targeted approach to skin discoloration. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of this medication, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for further guidance.
